Why is this happening?
Discussion
My flat is 3rd floor in a 1930's block fairly thick walls etc, double glazed heating via radiators.
My room is fairly large, 16x16 and has a double aspect, so lots of windows. Now this room is by far the coldest in the house which I think is because of the windows! The real issue though, every night the windows fill with condensation and make the room very damp, and if I don't clean them off every day they mould
Is there anyway to stop this? As I hate damp, and its very annoying having to clean all 8 windows every day!!

All very well.
I don't dry clothes in there because its nasty in the air, as you said.
I do have the heating on as hot as possible, but the radiator is on the other wall.
I have a vent, its open at all times, but seems to feck all. As said, if I open the window the whole room by morning would be freezing.
So a de-humidifyer could be the answer..

- Leave the heating on all the time, if it doesn't get cold, it'll never condense.
Turn the heating off, if it doesn't get hot, it'll never condense.The radiators are VERY old, and only really have an on or off to above poster!
Well last night I slept with the windows unfastened. So not open, but not airtight.
It wasn't noticably colder for doing so and stopped the condensation.
The issue I have also is that my third wall (one of th ones that isn't windows, but doesnt have the rad on it) leads onto a tiny room that only has a toilet in it, and that room has no heating, so may aswell be an external wall. 3 external walls, two laden with glass, all that is bound to add up to a cold
